Metamorphosis

A story only matters, I suspect, to the extent that the people in the story change. Neil Gaiman

Straightforward and outspoken

without a ribbon or a frippery

in the shade

of the night

 

I want to dance naked

in all my ugliness

to wash myself of sins

in the mid of the stars

 

to burn my clothes

and howl at the moon

 

to forget what ever was

back off to start and begin again

germinating in the ground

 

to reinvent a dream

to exist once more.

I do see Beauty in these words
even though
I've never burned my cloths
and Howled at the moon LOL.




I love how you describe Metamorphosis
here and the picture I love my favorite Butterfly
Is the Monarch Butterfly.
